    I’ve read all of them at least twice, and read most of them out loud to my sis and bro. My favorites are Taggerung, Legend of Luke, Outcast of Redwall, and High Rhulain. I absolutely love them all, no matter what critics may say.

    I’m currently re-reading Mariel of Redwall.

    The other style for books now is leaving a cliffhanger ending at the end of a book in a series. That gets really annoying.

    I love Paperbackswap. Postage does add up, but you’re really only paying about 2 dollars per book. That’s not too bad. PBS is very user-friendly and easy to understand. I’ve never used BookMooch, so I can’t compare.

    Pip, under the settings tab on the far right of your account, if you scroll down a ways there are email settings.

    No, it doesn’t. And, Pip, you can change the settings so you don’t get so many emails if you want.

    At this rate, you should just post the complete Narnia books. We could just read the whole series on the front page.

    The People of Sparks, by Jeanne DuPrau- 338 pages

    Getting the Most From a Guided Hunt, by Leonard A. Russell- 73 pages (I know this is strange reading. I don’t hunt, and don’t ever plan on it, but the book was written by a family friend. He gave us a copy, and it was sitting in the kitchen when I had breakfast. So, I read it. Now I know what a guided hunt would be like if I ever did go on one.)

    Pip, I use Paperback swap!!!! I love it. I’ve been doing it for over a year and a half, and I have gotten around 150 books (and shipped out that many.) I’ve gotten almost a complete set of hardcover Redwall books, and lots of other great books. If you put something on your wishlist, it usually comes up within a year. It varies greatly depending on the book.

    My librarians know me by name, too. I used to request alot of inter-library loan books, but I don’t like to as much anymore because my librarians were getting mad at me. We had a few nasty remarks from the one lady. I prefer to stay on the good side of my librarians, especially since I want to get a job there next time they have an opening.

    I don’t like to buy books new, but I will if it’s something difficult to find used, like a Christian fantasy book.

    Those are awesome! Didn’t you also used to have one from DragonSpell? Something from Fen, I think. Wasn’t it that line about quests?
